Thursday, the Superior Fire Department, which is working with the children's center, came to pick up the first load of toys.

"We've always kind of done something, but we've done it more around Christmas time actually like sponsoring a child or a family, and this time we kind of thought, you know, middle of summer, who's really collecting toys and that type of stuff, so we thought it would be almost easier for people to participate," said Cindy Fennessey, owner of New Horizons Children's Center.
